Rebecca is an extraordinary person.

Back in 2011 she saw two problems in her Palmerston North community. A lot of food waste going to tghe dump or feed pigs and a lot of hungry people. So she decided to do something about it - rescue the food and feed those who need it

So she created Just Zilch in a free store, and today she had a full time team of 5 and 100 volunteers who distribute surplus food, and fresh, locally grown produce to people in need - without conditions.

Everyday the Just Ziltch team feed give food to around 350 people a day≥

In this interview Rebecca talks about how the demand is growing and why it is getting harder to meet it..
